This page is an attempt at document requirements for official Debian images (CD/DVD, Live CD/DVD, Cloud, etc.). It is work in progress, and not final. But the current listing outlines recommendations for people willing to provide such images with Debian's blessing.

Ideally, this means that the generation tools are provided as Debian packages inside Debian, and maintained by a team following the usual Debian practices (e.g. using alioth).

D. the images most provide a user experience (in terms of default choice of packages, or of default configuration) identical to other means of installing Debian. Differences must be documented and justified.
